Summary
Ku Klux Klan flyers were distributed across 11 cities in northern Indiana, with the Trinity White Knights, a Kentucky-based KKK chapter, claiming responsibility.
Residents expressed outrage and discomfort, condemning the hateful message and its divisive tone.
Residents described the flyers as disturbing and emphasized the need for peaceful and just approaches to addressing societal issues.
The incident highlights ongoing challenges with extremist messaging in communities.
The far right has been emboldened. You’re seeing people start to say the quiet part out loud, and they’re shocked when they find their peers don’t agree. I’ve seen it personally and know many others who can say the same. It’s scary stuff.
We had some Aryan nation flyers being passed out last weekend here in Iowa. Or Aryan brotherhood or whatever. Fuck those guys.
Consider now what you might do if selected for a jury for someone who [censored] one of these KKK/nazi guys.
Know what jury nullification is but don’t advertise your knowledge.
There are situations where I support jury nullification, but murder isn’t one of them.
I understand.
This is going to be normalized in 4 years.
Oh yeah, they’re warming up. And it’ll be allowed, of course, because fat-ass Trump will not care in the world except himself, to allow this.
It’s essentially normalized now AFAICT.
Is America great again yet?
Well people are distributing free toilet paper so… maybe?
/s just in case
I don’t get the sarcasm? What other thing is good for a klan flyer?
I imagine that paper isn’t soft enough for a comfortable wipe.
I don’t get the sarcasm?
The “maybe” in response to “is America great.” Yes, it should be obvious that it was not a serious answer, but I figured better safe than sorry.
I hate Indiana Nazis
Maybe the shithole country was the United States we lived in along the way.
Why are Yankees racists?
I remember from HP, that once the deatheaters took the government suddenly everyone was a deatheater. It felt so unhinged back then…
To paraphrase Ultron
“They’re confusing peace with quiet.”
If you want them to go away, you have to do more than complain.
Just a few days ago neo nazis openly marched in Ohio. Now the KKK is spreading flyers. I guess this is how you own the woke libs.
Gonna be a long 4 years. Remember America, this is what you wanted.
4 years? Gonna be a long rest of our lives (until we die from lack of affordable healthcare or being put in gulags, anyway).
Gonna be a long 4 years.
Aw, you still think this is going to be over in 4 years? The US just had its last free and open election.
Only if we take Trump at his word
When it comes to taking power, you should absolutely believe him. He tried to take more last time but he was stopped. He will continue trying.
I was more highlighting it as a direct quote
Remember America, this is what you wanted.
No it isn’t. Would be cool if people would stop saying that. Only about 30% of Americans spoke up to say they wanted this
The people who sat on the couch are just as responsible for this as the people who voted him in. He actually won the popular vote this time around, so between the 2 groups this is what they wanted.
No
Are you 5 years old? Just saying “no” with nothing else isn’t doing you any favors, you only make yourself look dumb as fuck. Your opinion already does that, so you only made it worse.
If those people that didn’t vote had voted for Kamala instead she’d have won the election, by a lot. How is that not them giving Trump a vote?
Can you expand upon that? Everyone knew that a vote for Trump/3rd party/or not voting at all was to Trump’s benefit. Did you see a model or theory that would allow Trump to get more votes and still lose the electoral college? Or is your argument that people that only enabled Trump but didn’t vote for him shouldn’t be put in the same bucket?
That’s how democracy works though. People didn’t show up, so it’s the same as voting him in effectively
He won the popular vote. Yes it is.
I’m in the US, I voted against Trump, I’m likely going to suffer if he is able to accomplish a smidgen of what he has talked about, and I think we got what we deserved. I know a lot of innocent people are going to suffer, but this is a country of very selfish people. Even some of the most liberal people I have met in this country still have a very selfish mindset and reason for the liberal bent. As soon as they attain a position where they have an advantage they basically pull up the ladder. I’m personally tired of it.
People are going to die, ecosystems are going to burn, countries may very well fall. My only hope is that things only get bad enough that the masses learn an important lesson that at least lasts for their generation and that recovery is possible in that time frame.
It’s not that I don’t care. It’s not even that I don’t have the fight left in me. I just don’t see any kind of path to a better place without substantial harm occurring first. I will not be happy to be right. I want to be wrong.

I will not be happy to be right. I want to be wrong. I think many are feeling the same. Everybody wants peace not this, but seems this is where we going.
And almost half of the population couldn’t be bothered to get off their asses and say “no, we fucking don’t want this”.
A good chunk of those folks stayed home to say “we don’t want any of this.”
Arguing that that means they wanted trump is kinda like saying if you don’t call the police after witnessing an old lady get robbed, it means you wanted her to get robbed. Maybe they just don’t wanna participate in a fucked up system
Maybe they just don’t wanna participate in a fucked up system
Tough shit, they have no choice.
That is what it means
Protests are for the “we don’t want any of this”
Do you genuinely believe that if you ask the average non-voter “did you want trump to win?” that they’ll say “yes”?
That, or “I don’t care”.
… the need for peaceful and just approaches to addressing societal issues.
If we’re not already beyond “peaceful approaches,” we’re gonna be real soon. Prepare to !Resist@fedia.io.
